A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : The SEAL IPv6 Destination Option Author(s) : Fred L. Templin Filename : draft-templin-sealopt-01.txt Pages : 6 Date : 2012-01-13 The Subnetwork Encapsulation and Adaptation Layer (SEAL) provides a mid-layer header designed for the encapsulation of an inner network layer packet within outer network layer headers. SEAL also supports a transport mode of operation, where the inner payload corresponds to an ordinary transport layer payload. However, SEAL can also provide benefit when used as an IPv6 destination option that contains a digital signature inserted by the source. The source can thereafter use the signature to verify that any ICMPv6 messages received actually came from a router on the path, while destinations that share a secret key with the source can verify the signature to ensure data origin authentication.
